Here are some of my big tips/takeaways from my experience at the drive-in: We saw a wide variety of people - friends, families, couples - and it was very easy to both enter and leave. The drive-in has "ridges" on the parking spaces so that everyone gets an equally elevated view of the screen. The movie started on-time and it was great to see that the drive-in (which has a huge lot) was nearly completely full on a Friday night. In short, it was amazing! It was so fun and everything was ran very smoothly. I saw that the Paramount Drive-In wasn't terribly far away (and was playing a decent horror movie) so we decided to go on a Friday night. We watched Despicable Me 3, and were ready to watch Cars 3, but had to leave before it started.My friend from out-of-state came to visit me in LA for the weekend and one of the things on his "bucket list" was to see a drive-in movie. My daughter loved it, I loved it, and we're going back when they show other movies.Īs of right now they're showing Despicable Me 3, Cars 3, Wonder Woman, and the new Spiderman movie. It was awesome seeing families sitting outside spending quality time. The best part about this "new" experience is that, contrary to years gone by where you watched the movie from within the confines of your car, now you can pull out your chairs and watch the movie under the stars. Fortunately, there were many movie goers who had set up big speakers and we were able to hear perfectly without having to use our car radio. I was greatly concern that my car battery was going to die if I did that. Now, you tune in from your car radio, but I'm still not sure how that works. Like another poster wrote, long gone are the days where you had a post and speakers. Tickets are $10 per person, which I found to be extremely reasonable. There are two screens in the lot, and depending what movies you want to watch you to one or the other. On weekends they show three movies, and on weekdays two. I took my youngest daughter, who is 21 and had never been to a drive-in, and she was just as excited as I was. As a teen I lived fairly close to this drive-in and I remember trips with a car load of teens hiding in the back, going in for free. I was blown away when I learned that this drive-in was still in existence as I was under the impression that there were no drive-ins operating. For us, and the rest of the people there, it didn't bother us! The attendants are very good/transparent about this and told us at the "gate" (where you buy tickets) you have the option to turn around if this bothers you.
